A working group of the French National Hemovigilance Committee has been in charge of heightening awareness of Transfusion-Associated Circulatory Overload (TACO) among physicians and nurses. This multidisciplinary group has produced the present document that focuses on epidemiological data provided by the French haemovigilance network, physiopathology, diagnosis, treatment and specific actions that could prevent or minimize the risk of TACO.

The Safety Profile of COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma.

Despite concerns about potential side effects, based both on historical experience with plasma products and more recent concerns about contemporary use of plasma, COVID-19 convalescent plasma has been shown to be a very safe product. Research early in the COVID-19 pandemic documented-among the very large population of convalescent plasma recipients in the US Convalescent Plasma Study component of the FDA-authorized Expanded Access Program-that the overall risk profile was no different than that seen for fresh frozen plasma, a product used routinely in medical practice. The safety of CCP was further demonstrated using real-world evidence, pragmatic trials, and formal randomized trials.

Erythrocyte transfusion is a time-consuming process for both health care personnel and patients. This research is aimed at assessing the safety of erythrocyte transfusion over a short period of time in pediatric patients using innovative echocardiographic parameters, such as tissue Doppler imaging and 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography. Twenty pediatric patients with chronic hemolytic anemia were included in the study.

We present a never-transfused girl with thalassemia intermedia who was admitted for febrile aplastic crisis due to human parvovirus B19. After a first transfusion of packed red blood cells, she developed pulmonary oedema. She improved with supportive care including the use of intravenous diuretics.

Article Synopsis
- - A 64-year-old man with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) experienced a serious bleed due to an angiomyolipoma in his kidney, which is a common and dangerous issue associated with TSC, especially in those with specific genetic mutations.
- - His existing health problems, like high blood pressure and cholesterol, made his condition more complicated, requiring intensive treatment that included fluid resuscitation and emergency procedures to stop the bleeding.
- - The case emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of TSC patients for potential hemorrhages, especially from larger angiomyolipomas, and stresses the benefits of a team-based approach in managing these patients for both immediate and long-term care.
